I have three sons and this is one of the phases they seem to go through!! My middle son has been the worse at it however..

But after years of telling maim to not speak to me in that manner and tell him to bad about the what ever thing he is making a big deal about he most of the time does ok... But he is now 16 and has grown up quite a bit but he has his days still and I tell him off pretty fast😉

Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire!! Give them a little dose of their own medicine !!

It sounds like he's not respecting you. I would sit him down, explain that it's not ok, I don't care how smart he is you are the parent, he needs to respect you and until he shows some respect take away privileges like his cell phone or video games.

I think this is when dad needs to step in. My husband would have set my son straight if that happened. No one speaks rudely to the woman he loves. I think it is good for a man to set his son straight in situations like this, it teaches him respect, and shows him how real men defend their woman's honor. I know Im on the old fashioned side but I think this is best fixed by dad.

Oh my ,mine have said I am being a mean mom sometimes...it's true sometimes LOL but if they were to call me names we would have a serious chat.Including dad.First does he like being called names ,doubt it. so why when he is angry is it ok to do to others.I have often explained to my children if they don't like being treated a certain way then don't treat others that way.Think how it feels.
